Oregon football to conclude spring in Portland
■The Ducks will end their
preseason workouts by playing
their Spring Game at PGE Park
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
For the second spring in a row, the
Oregon football team is taking its
show two hours north on Interstate 5.
Oregon announced Tuesday that
the annual Spring Game will take
place Saturday, April 27, at Port
land’s PGE Park.
Typically, the game is played at
Autzen Stadium, but because of the
stadium’s ongoing expansion, the
Ducks will again showcase their
team in front of their Portland fans.
Last spring, Oregon also played near
Portland, in Hillsboro Stadium, be
cause of the new turf that was being
placed in Autzen.
“This is a great opportunity for us
to offer our fans in Northwest Ore
gon and Southwest Washington a
chance to witness a game-day expe
rience who might not otherwise
have been able to attend an Oregon
game in Eugene,” Athletic Director
Bill Moos said.
The Spring Game marks the end
of spring practice for the football
team and consists of a Green team
playing against a White team. PGE
Park, formerly known as Civic Sta
dium and located in downtown
Portland, will turn into a mini
Autzen for a day. The Oregon
Marching Band, the cheerleaders
and the Ducks mascot will all be
there to entertain the crowd.
“It’s very exciting for us to wel
come coach Mike Bellotti and the
Ducks to PGE Park, especially
considering the terrific season
they had last year,” said Mark
Schuster, the president of Port
land Family Entertainment.
Oregon ended the 2001 season
ranked a school-record No. 2 in the
country after beating Colorado, 38
16, in the Fiesta Bowl.
A key position that the Ducks will
be working on this spring is quarter
back, as Oregon tries to find a re
placement for the departed Joey
Harrington. The front-runner for the
starting quarterback position is last
year’s back-up, Jason Fife, who has
performed well in the last two
Spring Games.
In 2001, Fife completed 16-of-27
passes for 273 yards and three
touchdowns in the Green Team’s
45-6 victpry. In 2000, Fife secured
the third-string position behind
Harrington and current NFL player
A.J. Feeley when he threw for 186
yards on 14-of-17 passing.
This spring’s game at PGE Park
will be the Ducks’ final official
preparation before fall practice be
gins in August. Oregon’s season
opener will be August 31 when the
Ducks host Mississippi State in a
newly revamped Autzen Stadium.
“While the expansion of Autzen
Stadium made it necessary to seek
a location to hold the Spring Game
other than Eugene, we couldn’t be
happier with the efforts that Port
land Family Entertainment has un
dertaken to bring this event to PGE
Park,” Moos said.
Fans can begin to buy tickets for
the Spring Game at 9 a.m. on March
2 through all Ticketmaster outlets.
Reserved seats for the game are
priced at $12 and $8, while general
admission tickets are only $6.
“We have always perceived all of
our programs to represent the entire
state of Oregon, and this provides us
the opportunity to thank our many
fans by taking our product to them,”
Moos said.

best ball of the season, Shreve has
come on strong in her limited role.
In nine minutes against Oregon
State on Saturday, Shreve scored
seven points on 3-of-3 shooting.
“We’ve finally established a game
where she can be a part of it,” Smith
said. “We need her to take the ball
and penetrate and do the things
she’s really capable of doing as a ball
handler.”
As a sophomore, Shreve was
shocked when she was named the
opening day starter after Shaquala
Williams, the 2000 Pac-10 Player of
the Year, went down with a season
ending knee injury. Shreve started
22 of Oregon’s 29 games last year.
“Coming into last year, I expected
it to be what it has been this year,”
she said. “I thought I would get my
opportunities, maybe not a whole
lot, but I wanted to make the best of
what I got. This year I was willing to
do whatever I could, knowing that I
wouldn’t be the leader. ”
It has taken some time, but
Shreve has found her rhythm on the
court of late, averaging six points in
the last three games.
“Now it’s more clear what my role
is when I do come in,” she said. “I try
to keep the pace and keep the intensi
ty of the people who do play a lot —
just try to fulfill what they do.”
Shreve can take solace in the fact
that she has another year in an Ore
“We need (Shreve) to take
the ball and penetrate
and do the things she’s
really capable of doing
as a ball handler.”

gon uniform. Who knows, maybe
her senior year will be more like
her sophomore campaign.
“I still have one more year, and I
want to make a positive impact on
this program,” Shreve said.
Burstin’ the bubble?
The Ducks finish their regular
season this weekend at Washington
on Saturday. A win over the
Huskies — with the assumption of a
win over 0-16 Washington State (2-24
overall) — would put Oregon at 11-7
inthePac-lOand 16-11 overall.
Oregon made its eighth straight
NCAA Tournament appearance last
season with a 10-8 mark in conference
play and a 17-12 overall record.
“Certainly the more games we
can win, the more opportunity
we’re going to have for people to
give us a second look for the Big
Dance and for any other secondary
dance that might be out there, ’ ’ Smith
said. “But right now, what’s impor
tant for us is to go up to Washington
State and take it 40 minutes at a time
and try to play the best basketball
we’re capable of doing.”
Oregon’s best hope of getting a
ninth consecutive bid from the
NCAA is to win the inaugural Pac
10 Tournament, which the Ducks
host beginning March 1.
“The players really haven’t had a
chance to let it all sink it, but to play
for the Pac-10 championship on our
home floor will speak volumes about
who we are and where we will go af
ter the season,” Smith said.
